Man Sues Gateway Because He Can't Read EULA

@ 2007/06/08
California resident Dennis Sheehan took Gateway to small claims court after he reportedly received a defective computer and little technical support from the PC manufacturer. Gateway responded with their own lawyer and a 2-inch thick stack of legal docs, and claimed that Sheehan violated the EULA, which requires that users give up their right to sue and settle these cases in private arbitration. Sheehan responded that he never read the EULA, which pops up when the user first starts the computer, because the graphics were scrambled.

Comment from Sidney @ 2007/06/08
The very fine prints in EULA clearly states illiterate, blind and stupid people are not exempted from not being screwed
If this case goes to court, Gateway should fire the lawyer or bunch of lawyers who came up with the agreement.
